class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Metals and non-metals are different materials that we come across in our everyday life. They&#8217;re elements, with metals like copper being good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals like phosphorus are insulators. Scientists categorized materials based on their properties, helping students learn chemistry better. This led to the periodic table arrangement of metals and non-metals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metals\"><\/span>Metals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Metals make up most of the elements on the periodic table. They include alkali metals, lanthanides, actinides, transition metals, and alkaline earth metals. You can find them on the periodic table, separated from nonmetals by a line that goes from carbon to radon. Phosphorus, selenium, and iodine are the elements that set metals apart from nonmetals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non_Metals\"><\/span>Non Metals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Non-metals make up about half of the periodic table, and they are located on the right side. Examples of non-metals include sulfur, carbon, halogens, phosphorus, hydrogen, oxygen, selenium, nitrogen, and noble gases. One interesting non-metal is bromine, which is unique because it&#8217;s a non-metal that&#8217;s in liquid form at room temperature.<\/p>\n<div class=\"d-grid gap-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/notes\/class-10\/science\/metals-and-non-metals-class-10-notes-science-chapter-3\/\"> <button class=\"btn btn-primary\" style=\"width: 100%; cursor: pointer;\" type=\"button\"><strong>Metals and Non-metals Class 10 Notes Science Chapter 3<br \/>\n<\/strong> <\/button> <\/a><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Periodic_Table_Metals_and_Non-metals_Positions\"><\/span>Periodic Table Metals and Non-metals Positions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the periodic table, there are metals and nonmetals. The pink section represents nonmetals, and the blue part represents metals. Some nonmetals like diamonds and iodine shine, and fluorine is the most reactive among them. Bromine is a nonmetal that stays in liquid form at room temperature.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_Properties_of_Metals\"><\/span>Physical Properties of Metals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Luster:<\/strong> Metals typically have a shiny or metallic luster, which means they reflect light well. This property makes them appear bright and attractive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conductivity:<\/strong> Metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity. This property is why metals like copper and aluminum are used in electrical wiring and cooking utensils.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Malleability:<\/strong> Metals can be hammered or rolled into thin sheets without breaking. This property is known as malleability, and it allows metals to be shaped into various forms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ductility:<\/strong> Metals can be drawn into thin wires without breaking. This property is called ductility and is crucial for making wires and cables.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High Melting and Boiling Points:<\/strong> Metals generally have high melting and boiling points, which means they remain solid at high temperatures. This property makes them suitable for use in high-temperature applications, such as engines and industrial furnaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"d-grid gap-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-material-important-question\/class-10\/science\/metal-and-non-metal\/\"> <button class=\"btn btn-primary\" style=\"width: 100%; cursor: pointer;\" type=\"button\"><strong>Metals and Non-Metals Chapter Wise Important Questions<\/strong> <\/button> <\/a><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_Properties_of_Non-Metals\"><\/span>Physical Properties of Non-Metals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>State at Room Temperature:<\/strong> Most non-metals are found in gaseous or solid states at room temperature. For example, hydrogen and oxygen are gases, while sulfur is a solid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dull Appearance:<\/strong> Non-metals generally have a dull or non-shiny appearance. Unlike metals, they do not reflect light well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poor Conductors:<\/strong> Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They do not allow the flow of heat or electricity through them easily.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low Density:<\/strong> Non-metals typically have lower densities compared to metals. This means that they are lighter for the same volume.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brittle:<\/strong> Many non-metals are brittle and can easily break or shatter when subjected to stress or pressure. For example, sulfur and phosphorus are brittle non-metals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_Between_Metals_and_Non-Metals\"><\/span>Difference Between Metals and
